Restcomm comes with convenient command line tools for easy remote System Admin work. Please see below for more information.
Changing Terminal Sessions
When running RestComm on Amazon, you will mostly be working in the command line terminal through SSH. This means that you will have be limited to a single terminal window. RestComm comes with the screen feature that will allow you to switch from one terminal window to another. This can be very useful for troubleshoot and seeing RestComm and Media Server logs.
Switch to TelScale RestComm Screen
- From the current SSH terminal run screen_restcomm.
- This will take you into the RestComm session where you can see current transactions.
- To detach from the session, run ctrl+a d
Switch to TelScale Media Server Screen
- From the current SSH terminal run screen_mms
- This will take you into the Media Server session where you can see current transactions.
- To detach from the session, run ctrl+a d
Manually Starting and Stopping Restcomm
When you start RestComm from the Amazon AWS console the whole process is automated. However, there might be instance where you may need to manually restart RestComm. In that case, you need to connect to the instance through SSH and type the following commands:
- restcomm_start
- restcomm_stop
